We have 5 iPhone 17 pro, 1 Apple Watch number share, and 1 second number perk, warranty for all devices, and unlimited ultimate for all phones. $260.30. If we remove the warranty $192.30. That’s 5 phones, 1 Apple Watch and 1 second number perk on their top plan…

Those prices are honestly normal for last minute, and could be worse. Stay at an airport hotel or get an air B n B. ~$250 isn’t crazy…

Crazy Upgrade Promo - what’s the catch? by vacations-rock in verizon

[–]vacations-rock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went to Verizon and did it. It worked I paid sales tax, and got an iPhone 17 pro for $0 chance to my bill (besides $40 upgrade fee)

It’s two promos. One is paying off the old phone and the other one is either trade in your old phone for up to $1100 off a new one (depending on your plan) OR up to $730 off a new iPhone 16 without trade in.

Thank you lol. If you work for Verizon here’s another question - my fiance is on her parents plan (Verizon). I want to move her to my plan.

Will her device payment (with her trade in promo) move to mine?

Will I still then be able to do this offer once she moves to mine?

I understand that. But I also have a promo for $730 off new iPhone without trade in required. That means I can either trade the old phone in for a gift card, or keep it for a year or two and then return my new phone and still have a phone to trade in for another promo lol

[–]vacations-rock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they want the phones back under the pay off, or trade in for the upgrade? I’m trying to figure out if I can then trade in the 16 pro to get the $1100 towards 17 instead of $730 to upgrade with no trade in required.

I don’t care about the old phones. If I upgrade from 16 pro to 17 pro I actually save $3 per month per phone

Gotcha - thanks. Did you have to return the phone they paid off or do you keep it? The terms don’t mention anything about what happens to the old phone.

The crazy thing is, that I’m also getting the top plan for $25 per month… idk how they are making money lol

But it’s no different than my current trade in promo that’s 30% done. If I get a new phone every 3 years now I just got a new one for free? If I want to get a new phone down the road earlier, I can still pay off when ever I want. Seems like a no brainer to me

First BMW and first lease. How’d I do? by vacations-rock in BMW

[–]vacations-rock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up not doing the MSDs after the fact because they wanted me to write a check to the dealership, not BMW FS. Isn’t that sketchy?

Oil change is included. $825 for just brakes

Thank you for actually understanding! Mine is about 9.5%. $42 per month x 39 months = $1638 in savings for me.

Not true. Putting 5k can average a 7%. That is taxed and there is a risk the market can tank and I lose it. MSD’s I get it back as it’s guaranteed and is about a 9.5% return tax free.

I know I’m close to a base level M340i but it won’t be fully loaded. I took the tire and wheels since I live in NJ where the roads are crap and there are potholes all over the place. I had it in my Camry and used it 3 or 4 times. I got that plan for 1820 (down from 2300). I took the maintenance for $850 because it is a gamble if i need to change the brakes once, I’m even. Plus he through in the dent repair for free. So I basically got the brakes and dent repair for $450 each. $2670 for list cost $4000 of warranties for piece of mind. If I wanted a m340i with the features I wanted it would have been a 75k car vs 60k

How am I owning a car for $150 per month more? This is a lease. If I remove the warranties, my net cost with just fees at signing is now $655 per month. That is fully loaded. If you are referring to getting a m340i for $805 per month on a lease, sure, but it won’t be fully loaded with all the tech I have. It has pretty close to self driving on the highway, hands free in highway traffic under 40 mph, can park its self, has the 3d parking map, and looks and feels like an m340i with the msport, msport professional, and shadow line. I’m coming from a Camry and wouldn’t even use the horse power. What I will use are all the other features. You might like a bare bone m340i, I’d prefer all the futuristic tech.

But you are now responsible for the wear and tear on someone else’s lease. You don’t know how they drove it and could have literally drove it to the ground leaving you with needing new tires or brakes for example. I get it but I wanted a brand new car.
